Why the Apollo 13 mission was described as a successful failure?
It failed in its original mission, which was the moon landing, but it succeeded in getting the astronauts home safely because of the vision of Mission Control and the competence of both the astronauts in the crippled ship and the support teams in Mission Control and in the back room.
Why was the Apollo 13 mission considered a successful failure?
Apollo 13 was a failure in the sense that the mission did not land on the moon or achieve any of its mission goals. It was successful because it showed how people can work together to bring about a successful outcome to a situation that looked impossible. The feat of bringing home a crew of three in a spacecraft that was largely disabled through the rupture of its oxygen tanks and damaged electrical systems was a worldwide effort by various technical people, and created universal concern for the astronauts wellbeing.
What Lunar Mission did NASA call a 'Successful Failure'?
Apollo 13.
How many astronauts have died on the moon?
None! Of seven manned Apollo missions to the Moon, using 21 astronauts all together, six missions were successful. Twelve astronauts successfully landed on the Moon, explored it, and returned to earth. Apollo 13 was our greatest successful failure, in that it did not complete its mission but did return its three astronauts. This is all easily researched at www.nasa.gov. I hope this question is from someone very, very young, because it betrays a complete lack of understanding of history.
